“TERRIFICALLY SPIRITED. LOTS OF JUICY ONE-LINERS AND RIDICULOUS TWISTS”

The Guardian

This Spring, see the cream of British comedy and acting talent live and in person take on the career-defiling role of The Narrator, in the riotous new comedy classic – Bleak Expectations.

Based on the award-winning radio series by Mark Evans, Bleak Expectations takes you on a joyfully anarchic journey through Dickensian London and beyond. Follow the heroic misadventures of young Pip Bin as he battles mistaken identities, contemptible conspiracies and surreal plot twists in his quest to save his family and find true love.

A special guest star narrator each week!

May: Nina Wadia, Dermot O’Leary, Sally Phillips, Robert Lindsay, Sue Perkins

June: Julian Clary, Adjoa Andoh, Craig Ferguson, Lee Mack

July: Stephen Mangan, Jo Brand, Tom Allen, Jack Dee

August: Alexander Armstrong, Stephen Fry, Ben Miller, Nish Kumar

Get ready for a Bleaking unforgettable night of laugh-out-loud comedy action, from 3 May at London’s Criterion Theatre.
